Chapter 518: What is the big picture

>,!

Hong Chengchou and Xiong Wencan's letters, Zheng Xunrui received them all, but at that time, he had not moved much thought, it should be said that Hong Chengchou led a large army to garrison Yanqing Prefecture City is the right choice, the west of the capital is basically a plain, easy to Houjin Tartar attack, the imperial court troops are not the opponent of Houjin Tartar in terms of marching speed, so choosing to garrison the city is also a good choice, relatively speaking, as long as Houjin Tartar concentrates his forces to attack Yanqing Zhou City, it can make other places in Beizhili breathe a sigh of relief, Let the common people suffer as little as possible. ↖,

Xiong Wencan's letter, further confirmed Hong Chengchou's deployment, the imperial army can not always evacuate, if it is bitten by the Houjin Tartars, in the plain to fight, there is no advantage at all, according to such a deployment, as long as the scheduling is appropriate, maybe Hong Chengchou and Xiong Wencan's joint efforts can win a victory in Beizhili, although the possibility of this is very small, but at least it can curb the arrogance of the Houjin Tartars.

Zheng Xunrui also values the entry of the Houjin Tartar this time, because the commander of the Houjin Tartar is the Prince of Rui Dolgon, this person is famous, it can be said that the Qing Dynasty can enter the Central Plains in history, Dolgon's contribution is huge, and its courage and wisdom have also been vividly demonstrated in several battles, this person should be one of Zheng Xunrui's main opponents.

It is precisely for this reason that Zheng Xunrui is not optimistic about the combination of Hong Chengchou and Xiong Wencan, it is very good to be able to defeat the Houjin Tartars, and to make the Houjin Tartars feel trouble.

More than ten days later, Zheng Xunrui received a letter from Xiong Wencan again, after reading this letter, Zheng Xunrui's expression changed completely, and he quickly found Xu Wanghua, Zheng Jinhong, Liu Zeqing and others.

Caoyun Governor's Palace, study.

There is a map on the table. There are also letters from Hong Chengchou, Xiong Wencan, and others.

"After the invasion of the Golden Tartars, you all know about this matter, and you also know about the letters from Lord Hong and Lord Xiong before, and my analysis at that time, if Lord Hong and Lord Xiong can cooperate well. Maybe you can curb the offensive of the Houjin Tartars, and if you want to defeat the Houjin Tartars, it is basically impossible, but it will not make the situation uncontrollable. ”

"I can't imagine that my estimate is too optimistic, and the situation has reached a point where it is beyond control."

"You have all read the letter from Lord Xiong just now, tell me your opinion."

After Zheng Xunrui finished speaking, Zheng Jinhong, Liu Zeqing and others all looked at Xu Wanghua.

Xu Wanghua didn't refuse, thought for a while, and quickly spoke.

"Your Excellency. The subordinates thought that Zheng Jiajun might have to prepare and enter the North Zhili to face the Houjin Tartars. ”

Zheng Xunrui looked at Xu Wanghua and did not speak.

"The front army led by Lord Xiong suffered a crushing defeat, and the Chinese army led by Gao Gonggong did not dare to face the Houjin Tartars, judging from the tactical deployment. Dolgon's method of besieging the city was obvious, first of all, to destroy the reinforcements of the imperial army. The army that prevented reinforcements from uniting with Lord Hong joined forces inside and outside, and by now, Dolgon's first tactic had been realized. ”

Next, Dolgon's attention must be focused on Yanqing Prefecture City. will do everything possible to take Yanqing Prefecture, there are more than 100,000 troops stationed in the prefecture city, if it is defeated by Houjin Tartar, the imperial court will not be able to bear such a loss. ”

"Take a step back. After the Jin Tartars took the city of Yanqingzhou, then the army that the imperial court could mobilize was the army stationed in Shanhaiguan, so that the Guanningjin defense line would be in mortal danger, Shenyang's Huang Taiji would never let go of such a good opportunity, and would definitely lead the army to attack the Shanhaiguan defense line, if the Guanning Jin defense line was taken by Huang Taiji, the capital would be in danger, so the army of Shanhaiguan could not be drawn. ”

"The only thing that can be drawn is the army from all walks of life in the south, including the white pole soldiers in Nanjing and Sichuan, etc., but these armies are also difficult to deal with the Houjin Tartars head-on, and the Liukou is at the spearhead, and the army under the command of Lord Xiong is being transferred to the capital.

"With such an analysis, the only thing that the imperial court can draw is Zheng Jiajun, Zheng Jiajun and Houjin Tartar have had many confrontations, all of which were won, in this case, even if the emperor has other ideas, the cabinet and the Ministry of War will make requests, and it is impossible for the emperor to refuse."

After Xu Wanghua finished speaking, Zheng Xunrui nodded slightly and looked at Zheng Jinhong, Liu Zeqing and others.

"Young master, my subordinates think that what Mr. Xu said is right, and my subordinates are waiting for the young master's order."

Zheng Xunrui stood up and paced slowly in the room, without speaking.

In fact, he had long expected that the situation had reached this point, and the imperial court would definitely send the Zheng family army into the north to fight, from a selfish point of view, he could not send troops at all, the reason was easy to find, and he would deal with the past casually, but if he did not send troops, the situation in the north might be completely chaotic, and the Houjin Tartars could also greatly enhance their strength through this battle, and the most important thing was that the Guanning Jin defense line could not be lost, and it really allowed the Houjin Tartars to occupy Shanhaiguan and other places, and the Zheng family army also needed to pay major sacrifices in the future, to be able to defeat the Houjin Tartars.

On another level, he Zheng Xunrui is still the governor of the Ming Dynasty's crown prince Shaobao Caoyun, and seeing such a crisis, staying out of the matter and being indifferent, I am afraid that he will also lose the hearts of the people.

Of course, there are benefits in the long run, the more poor and weak the Ming court is, the more difficult it is to maintain, and it may fall into chaos, taking advantage of this actual rise, Zheng Xunrui has enough confidence to unify the great tomorrow, the Zheng family army has 80,000 soldiers, this is a huge force, with 80,000 Zheng family army, Zheng Xunrui has enough confidence to exterminate the Liukou and completely defeat the Houjin Tartars.

But the defects are also very obvious, the north is in turmoil, the losses of the people are heavy, and they may fall into a situation of thousands of miles of uninhabited, and such injuries need to be recovered for a long time.

How to choose is a practical problem in front of Zheng Xunrui.

Seeing that Zheng Xunrui didn't speak, Xu Wanghua continued to speak.

"My lord, my subordinates think it's feasible not to send troops to the north of the country."

"Tell me why."

"Your Excellency can order Yang He's deputy commander-in-chief to launch an attack on Gaizhou from the direction of Fuzhou, relying on the cooperation of the water division, there is no big problem in taking Gaizhou, although Huang Taiji will arrange heavy troops to defend in Gaizhou Yaozhou and Haizhou, but it is difficult for them to resist the sharp attack of the Zheng family's army, once the Zheng family army takes Gaizhou and other places, Huang Taiji will inevitably draw troops to defend, if Gaizhou Yaozhou and Haizhou and other places are lost, Liaoyang and Shenyang and other places will suffer a direct threat, which Huang Taiji can not bear."

A smile appeared on Zheng Xunrui's face.

"Mr. Xu is talking about the tactical idea of encircling Wei to save Zhao, this suggestion is good, but there is also a problem, that is, whether Zheng Jiajun can take Gaizhou Yaozhou and Haizhou and other places in the shortest possible time, from the geographical point of view, the problem of taking Gaizhou is not very big, relying on the power of the Hongyi cannon Mauser gun, even if the Houjin Tartar has an impregnable defense, it will not have much effect, but it may be difficult to quickly take cities such as Yaozhou and Haizhou."

"What my lord said is that his subordinates analyzed it from the perspective of not sending troops to the north and Zhili."

Zheng Xunrui turned his head to Zheng Jinhong and spoke.

"Jinhong, do you think it's better to send troops to Beizhili, or to attack from the direction of Fuzhou."

Zheng Jinhong was stunned for a moment, and quickly spoke.

"The subordinates think that it is best to send troops to the north of Zhili."

"Oh, tell me your reasoning."

"After the Golden Tartars entered the pass and plundered, there was no backup, they relied on strong combat effectiveness, they were unscrupulous, once their attack encountered a setback, no matter who was the commander, they would be worried, and they had been deep into the pass for more than a month, and they had won many victories, this time they defeated the 50,000 former army led by Lord Xiong, the arrogance must be arrogant to the extreme, it is good to have self-confidence, but the self-confidence is too much, the military will inevitably slack, thinking that no one is a problem, Zheng Jiajun dispatched at this time, It will definitely be able to give the Houjin Tartar a fatal blow. ”

Zheng Xunrui opened his mouth and smiled.

"Jinhong, yes, your progress is very fast, you can get to this point, it seems that after a lot of efforts over the years, the army marched into Beizhili and launched an attack from the direction of Fuzhou, speaking of which it is stronger to directly enter Beizhili, but I think that the Zheng family army needs to attack from two directions this time, on the one hand, to march into Beizhili, on the other hand, to attack from the Fuzhou defense line, one real and one virtual, mainly to attack Beizhili, and to launch an attack from the direction of Fuzhou."

"Zheng Jiajun and Houjin Tatar have fought several times, it is impossible for Huang Taiji not to notice Zheng Jiajun's every move, and Dolgon will also pay attention, once Zheng Jiajun attacks from the direction of Fuzhou, Huang Taiji and Dolgon will think that the direction of Zheng's army's main attack is Gaizhou Yaozhou and Haizhou, and they will not think that Zheng Jiajun will enter Beizhili to fight."

"Having said that, I can tell you clearly, Zheng Jiajun sent troops to Beizhili, not on my initiative, but I don't want the north to be chaotic, chaotic to the uncontrollable situation, in fact, this expedition, there is a great danger, there are 150,000 Houjin Tartars who have entered the customs, if anyone dares to boast that the 150,000 Houjin Tartars have been completely exterminated, it must be crazy, there are many Houjin Tartars, then the Zheng Jiajun soldiers who have entered Beizhili cannot be too few, otherwise they may fall into a situation of passive beating, Since they faced the Houjin Tartars, they had to go through one or two battles, and the Houjin Tartars were terrified, and they did not dare to continue to stay in Beizhili, as was the case in the ninth year of Chongzhen, and the only way to evacuate quickly was to fight. ”

"Zheng Jiajun is for the overall situation, I hope some people can understand." (To be continued......)
